Rumour: Saw XI horror film cancelled due to producer conflict

The horror film Saw XI, which was supposed to be released in September 2025, has been cancelled, according to Bloody Disgusting. According to sources close to the production, the project is "completely dead" due to internal conflicts among producers that began in January 2024 and led to a halt in production. Although there is no official confirmation, the situation looks hopeless for this film.

Here's What We Know

The main reason for the cancellation was a dispute between the producers that began in January 2024. One of the producers tried to continue working on the film, but the other created obstacles that led to a complete halt in the project. Lionsgate was reportedly unable to resolve the disagreement between the producers, which was the final blow to the film.

Although Saw XI has been cancelled, this does not mean the end of the franchise. Perhaps a future film will be developed from scratch and offered to other studios. Fans responded positively to Saw X, so the franchise may yet live on.

The Saw series began in 2004 with the release of the first film directed by James Wan and written by Lee Whannell. The franchise became successful due to its unique concept and brutal puzzles. After the release of Saw 3D in 2010, the franchise took a break, but returned in 2017 with Jigsaw. Since then, new instalments have been released less regularly, with the latest being Saw X in 2023.
